It is 10 years ago since I acquired my house in Blackburn. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I can't find the title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?

You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be kept by your mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who acted in your purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Blackburn relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

I wish to let out my leasehold apartment in Blackburn. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?

A small minority of properties in Blackburn do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
